I call it the bionic hand, ... I tell people I can zing it even better now. It feels great. I have no problems with it.

Charlie gave me his number and said he was there if I needed anything.

But I'd like to think I had a little to do with it, ... I'd say a good system makes a quarterback look good. But I hope that a good quarterback makes the system work even better. I think I'm coachable and the system has done nothing but help.

I hear my name mentioned with his and that just doesn't seem right,

If my completion percentage is over 70 per cent again that would be nice. If it isn't, but we're in that championship game again at the end of the year, it's fine by me.

It takes me by surprise that after everything I've been through, it's worked out this well at Toledo, ... I don't think it matters where you came from. If you can play, you can play. Sometimes, it's harder coming from a smaller school, but if you have the talent, coaches are going to find you.

It's definitely cool to be mentioned with those guys.

It makes it tougher playing at a Single-A or Double-A school because the perception coaches have of it, ... You have to keep your faith and know you can play at this level. From the experience I've had, coaches should look past that.

The whole family has the underdog mentality, ... We're going to work hard to get the job done. We're disciplined. We're going to know what to do. We might not be the fastest, strongest or the biggest, but we get the job done. That's it. It's in the blood.

Ball State loves playing Toledo. But the game is about leadership and all of our captains were on the travel squad two years ago when we played there. We remember and we've taken it upon ourselves to make sure our team is ready this time.
